TP-Link launches JetStream T1700 Series Switching Solution for SMBs

TP-Link has introduced JetStream T1700 series. In a world of expanding enterprises and growing virtualization, cloud-based services and applications, like VoIP, HD streaming video, and IP surveillance, SMB networks need to evolve beyond simple reliability to provide increased scalability, higher bandwidth, and enhanced performance. TP-LINK’s new T1700 Series 10G Smart Switches represent an ideal solution that meets these requirements. The series includes the T1700X-16TS Full 10-Gigabit Smart Switch and the T1700G-28TQ Gigabit Stackable Smart Switch with 10G Uplink, which both provide high levels of performance, scalability, and cost-effectiveness that SMBs require from their 10G networking solutions.

10GBase-T Technology is becoming more common and affordable. Low-Latency, Line-Rate 10G Copper Base-T is backward compatible with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet and can automatically negotiate between higher and lower speed connections. Most importantly, 10GBase-T provides a cost-effective method for migrating from your current network to 10G Ethernet by utilizing your existing CAT5e/CAT6 RJ-45 short connections (up to 55m) and CAT6A/CAT7 connections (up to 100m). This reduces cabling complexity and ultimately results in significant savings for customers.

The T1700X-16TS features 12 10GBase-T RJ45 ports and four dedicated SFP+ fiber slots, which can support up to 320Gbps of combined switching bandwidth. This provides great resiliency, relieves congestion associated with bandwidth-intensive applications, and guarantees smooth data transmission.

“The increased adoption of virtualization and cloud-based applications, VoIP, video streaming, and IP surveillance by small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) today is driving the need for faster, high-bandwidth switches. Both switches are backward-compatible, offer port configuration for server and switch aggregation along with its L2+ features and basic layer-3 routing to build an ideal SMB network,” said Sanjay Sehgal, Vice-President – SMB & Telecom Business.

T1700G-28TQ is available at an MRP of Rs.29,500/- and T1700X-16TS at Rs.199,999.
